How was your morning commute today?

Apex · November 9th, 2010, 06:45 AM

How was the temp this morning?

Summer gloves, my Olympia jacket with liner, and just regular clothes on the ride this morning. A tad chilly since it was like 53*F at the time (high 30's with wind chill) and foggy. That moisture sure does make it a bit more nipply. Still a great ride into work...uneventful, just the way I like it.

Oh and this is by far the "best jacket ever!"

Sailariel · November 9th, 2010, 06:51 AM

Mark, I'm still riding. Temperatures are in the high 40s. Had a real nasty Coastal Storm on Monday so one has to watch for wet leaves and other debris--also hunting season, so deer are displaced by all the people roaring through the woods with their ATV. Saw a lot of deer bicycling--not that many on the MC.

Cold, for a Florida morning... 40 degree's when I left this morning!

It was around 40*F for me also, I had on my Fieldsheer highland II one piece suit, warm & safe 65w jacket liner, a balaclava, and an old pair of hippohands to keep the cold air off my hands.

Still riding without any liners... San Diego.

SVBS · November 9th, 2010, 09:08 PM

wow, you guys are so lucky, it's like freezing here in San Diego, I went out for a short ride this morning in 70's degree temperature...BRRRRR!!!

KURT · November 9th, 2010, 09:24 PM

About 48 when I left the house this morning. Time to get out the warmer gloves.

wild-bill · November 9th, 2010, 09:45 PM

About 70 deg this morning at 9am. I wore the air mesh jacket with no liner and leather gloves. Nice ride-today is the 1st day I rode the ninjette to work. But coming home at 9pm-cold. I didn't think I'd need the jacket liner and did not bring it.

EtienneDP · November 9th, 2010, 10:57 PM

Were having the exact opposite problem at the moment, temps are between 88 to 92, sweating like a pig in ATGATT

Domagoj · November 10th, 2010, 03:50 AM

50 F, heavy rain. Went for work early in the morning and was almost alone on the road

onetruevibe · November 10th, 2010, 06:38 AM

It was 31F yesterday morning - too cold for me. However, it did warm up to 53F by lunch time. I buzzed home in my cage and swapped it for the bike

I plan on doing the same today.

dubojr1 · November 10th, 2010, 06:42 AM

40 degree changes for us the last couple days. Yesterday it was 40 when I left for work and 80 coming home. Day before it was 34 leaving and 73 going home. We should stabilize the remainder of the week. Should be great riding weather!

Apex · November 10th, 2010, 06:56 AM

It warmed up to about 65* this morning. With the fog it felt like it was 10* cooler. No liner required, but still wore mine. I was just too lazy to take it out. It was borderline too warm. Still nice though. I'm going to pull out the liner for the ride home.

Great weather today, just great.

So much more relaxing commute on the bike compared to the car. Nothing to distract me (radio, phone, etc), just enjoying the ride. I tried to talk my wife into a Concours 14, but she turned me down. LOL I guess $15k is a bit steep hahahahah

FrugalNinja250 · November 10th, 2010, 06:57 AM

Left the house just after sunrise, about 58°F, was a fairly pleasant ride in. Some clouds so no direct sun, humidity was up so windchill on the bike was nil. I could do with a whole lot of days like this; too bad nice fall weather only lasts a few weeks at most in Texas.

CZroe · November 10th, 2010, 07:30 AM

Just got back from an uncomfortably cool one despite it being San Diego.

Yoda · November 10th, 2010, 04:25 PM

Not as bad as yesterday. But fraid with the increasing ice like road conditions in the morning it is time to stable the Ninja till March. Now just gotta find a garage for it..

Wife says stop being a bad influence. She really doesnt like me riding but the deal was she got her SUV i get my motorcycle. She just doesnt know about the R6 that going to join the stable next year

JeffM · November 11th, 2010, 12:18 PM

Left the house this morning facing overcast skies and dry roads. The temperature was 31F when I left the house and 28F when I arrived at my office. I wore my gear with all liners in over jeans and a tee shirt with a neck gator and winter gloves. Tried Cat Crap anti-fog on my glasses to limit fogging with limited, but better than without, results.

SCREEM · November 11th, 2010, 12:56 PM

-3 C this morning with head wind, had to pull over once to warm up
